Chicken Little is famous from her quote “The sky is falling.”
Today, I would like to start a famous quote “The ground is rising.”

The US Treasury yields propelled upwards last week as the economy continues to be very strong.
The US Jobless rate declined to a 48-year low. The unemployment rate is at 3.70%. Wow, low.

The 10-year US Treasury increased to 3.23%, and the 2-year US Treasury yield increased to 2.88%.
The spread also increased to 35 basis points, up from 18 basis points. This move will result in higher deposit costs and hopefully higher loan rates.
